This may result in you being ineligible for a Rebate or Referral Fee, regardless of whether or not you registered the relevant End User. We might also determine, acting reasonably, that you are not eligible for a Rebate or Referral Fee if we consider that you are no longer actively engaged with the Prospect or End User. If we request, you must provide proof (acceptable to us) that an End User is engaged with you (for example, by providing a copy of your retainer agreement with the End User). We may permanently discontinue Rebate or Referral Fee payments in relation to any End User should any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this clause 2.5 fail to be met at any time.2.6 Vault Leads.If we send you information on an individual or entity that may have a need for the services you offer (each, a Vault Lead) you may use such information as permitted by law and then only to market and sell your services to them and not for any other purpose (unless the Vault Lead otherwise consents).Immediately upon our or the Vault Lead’s request, you will promptly delete and discontinue all use of the Vault Lead’s information.

We may request to participate on these calls in an effort to help to ensure the quality of your service delivery and for the purposes of managing the Partner Program.Where a Prospect wishes to subscribe for a Vault Service, the Prospect must contract directly with us for provision of the Vault Services, which will require them to agree to our Terms of Service. No Rebate or Referral Fee is payable in relation to an End User unless that End User has agreed to, and is in compliance with, our Terms of Service.

If you discover or have reason to believe that any End User is making use of the Vault Services in violation of the Terms of Service, or that our Intellectual Property Rights have been or may be infringed in any way, then you must immediately notify us in writing. You must provide all such assistance as we reasonably request from time to time in the enforcement of the Terms of Service or for the protection of our Intellectual Property Rights.3. Rebates and Referral Fees.3.1 Requirements for Payment.In order to receive a Rebate or Referral Fee you must have: (i) agreed to the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) completed all information in our account information form. If any of these requirements have not been fulfilled at the time a Partner Transaction is entered into, then your right to receive a Rebate or Referral Fee arising from any and all Partner Transactions with the associated End User will be immediately and forever forfeited (each, a Forfeited Transaction) and we will have no obligation to pay you any Rebates or Referral Fees in relation to any End User that is or was associated with a Forfeited Transaction. Once you comply with all of the requirements in this clause 3.1(i)-(ii), then you will be eligible to receive Rebates or Referral Fees on Partner Transactions, as long as these Partner Transactions do not involve the same End User associated with a Forfeited Transaction.3.2 Rebates.Subject to you being eligible pursuant to clauses 2.5 and 3.1 above, you are entitled to receive a rebate (Rebate) in respect of any Prospect which you have registered with us (where that registration has been accepted by us and remains valid in accordance with clauses 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 respectively) where (i) you place an order for a Vault Service with us on behalf of a Prospect and provide us with all applicable documentation which we require for that Prospect to subscribe for that Vault Service; and (ii) that Prospect subsequently becomes an End User and subject to our Terms of Service. The Rebate is equal to the percentage (as stated in your Partner Program pack) of Net Revenue that is actually received by us from, or on behalf of, that applicable End User over the initial 12 month period after the End User first subscribes for a Vault Service. 3.3 Referral Fees.Subject to you being eligible pursuant to clauses 2.5 and 3.1 above, you are entitled to receive a once-off referral fee (Referral Fee) where you refer a Prospect to us that has not previously been registered with us (but who we would otherwise generally accept in accordance with clause 2.3 if you had sought to register that Prospect with us) and that Prospect is subsequently registered and subscribes for a Vault Service from us (and becomes an End User with us) within 12 months of your referral to us. The Referral Fee is a one off amount equal to the percentage (as stated in your Partner Program pack) of the amount actually received by us in respect of that Vault Service in respect to the first Vault Service subscribed for by that End User over the initial 12-month period after that End User first subscribes for a Vault Service. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not pay you any Rebate in respect of any Prospect for which we pay you a Referral Fee and a Referral Fee is not payable in relation to any amounts we receive after the initial 12 month period referred to in this clause 3.3.3.4 Payment Terms.Payments of any Rebates or Referral Fees will be made in the currency in which the Net Revenue to which that Rebate or Referral Fee relates was received (Currency). Any amount will be paid within forty-five (45) days after the end of (i) each applicable fiscal quarter (in the case of a Rebate); or (ii) the 12 month period referred to in clause 3.3 (in the case of a Referral Fee), provided that you have nominated a bank account that is capable of receiving the Currency into which we are to pay any Rebate or Referral Fee (as applicable) into. You are solely responsible for any bank charges incurred in relation to the payment or receipt of any Rebate or Referral Fee (as applicable). Unless we otherwise decide, such amount will be determined by reference to the Net Revenue we recognise and actually receive from, or on behalf of, the applicable End User(s) during such quarter or 12 month period (as applicable). In the case of a Rebate, prepayment in full by an End User for an annual or other periodic commitment will be recognized by us as revenue quarterly on a pro-rata basis for the length of time the Vault Service was provided for each quarter during the annual term, and you will receive the Rebate on that same quarterly pro-rata basis. We may apportion a Rebate or Referral Fee (in a proportion of our choosing, acting reasonably) if more than one of our partners has contributed to the close of a sale.If we update this Agreement to include additional products for which you are eligible to earn a Rebate or Referral Fee, the obligation to pay this additional Rebate or Referral Fee amount will apply starting on the first day of the month when the additional product was included in the Agreement. 3.5 Taxes.You acknowledge that any Rebate or Referral Fee is inclusive of all applicable taxes and duties. If we are required to withhold any tax in respect of a Rebate or Referral Fee, we will deduct the amount of that tax and pay you the remainder (Remitted Amount). You acknowledge and agree that the Remitted Amount is received in full and final satisfaction in respect of the Rebate or Referral Fee (as applicable).3.6 Payment on behalf of End User.In the event that you place an order for a Vault Service with us on behalf of a Prospect or an End User, you: (i) represent and warrant to us that you have the authority to place that order on behalf of the relevant Prospect or End User; (ii) agree to pay (or procure the payment of) the relevant amount for the Vault Service; (iii) authorise us to charge the relevant amount to you regardless of whether you have received any payment for the relevant Vault Service from the End User; (iv) authorise us to use a third party to process payments; and (v) consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party; and (vi) agree to be bound by the Terms of Use.
